Connections
To connect the loudspeaker systems to
the receiver or amplifier, use two:'
conductor insulated wire. Your JBL
dealer'ca¡ recommend suitable cables; or
you can buy wire at most hardware stores.
We recommend #18 AWG (1 mm
diameter) wire as a minimum size. If
your speakers are more than 30 feet
(10 m) from your receiver or amplifier,
use larger diameter wire. Connections are
made at the terminals located on the back
of the loudspeaker.system, near the
bottom edge. The terminals accept bare
wire or banana plugs, either of which will
provide easy, secure connections. To
prepare the wire, strip approximately
U}-inch(l3 mm)of insulation. Each
conductor is made up of fine strands of
wire; twist the strands together. Push
down on the button below the terminal
and insert the wire through the hole
(see Fig. 2).
For each channel, the red terminal on the
loudspeaker should be connected to the
red or (+) loudspeaker connection
terminal on the receiver or amplifier.
The black terminal on the loudspeaker
should be connected to the black or (-)
loudspeaker connection terminal on the
receiver or amplifier.. .Connecting the
loudspeakers in this manner ensures that
they will be in phase; that is, work
together rather than in opposition.
Connecting the loudspeakers out ofphase
will not damage them, but will result inless bass and poor imaging. Most two-
conductor wire is color coded, or has a
ridge on one of its insulating jackets, so
that you can easily identify which wire is
connected to which terminal (Fig. 2).
